Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (any sweet variety like Gala or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional, adjust based on apple sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (optional for brightness)
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks.
Place the apple chunks in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the bowl to prevent the apples from drying out.
Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apples. Add sugar and lemon juice if desired for extra sweetness and flavor.
Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate or plastic wrap, leaving a small opening for ventilation.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until the apples are soft and easily mashable.
Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and mash the apples with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency. For a smoother applesauce, blend with a hand blender or food processor.
Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon level as needed. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
